A Yakan-English Dictionary

Compiled by: Dietlinde Behrens

Yakan belongs to the Sama-Badjaw subgroup of the Malayo-Polynesian family of Austronesian languages and is spoken by people of the same name who live on Basilan Island as well as on some smaller surrounding islands. With over 5500 entries, over 600 subentries, 157 tables in the body, plus 33 appendices, this dictionary contains a wealth of data collected over a 30 year period. The introduction contains a phonological and morphological description and there is an extensive English index.

A companion volume to the A Grammar of Yakan (Brainard and Behrens 2002) and Yakan Texts (Behrens 2007), also available from this outlet.

2002. viii, 610pp. ISBN: 971-780-010-3 (LSP Special Monograph Issue, Number 40 Volume 2)
